  • Groove 36 may, for example, be of rectangular or triangular shape.
  • the longitudinal capillary axis is in the neutral plane of sensing strip 29 (at half the thickness of the strip) so that bending the strip does not strain the capillary.
  • Sensing strip 29 serves as a robust mechanical protection of the capillary and also ensures a reproducible azimuth angle of retarder 17 and the fiber, a further prerequisite for high scale factor repeatability, see Ref. 1 and Ref. 9 .
  • a defined azimuth angle can be desirable if the orientation of retarder 17 deviates from 90°. Such a deviation may be the result of manufacturing tolerances or may be introduced on purpose, here for temperature compensation of the Faraday effect (see below).
  • Sensing fiber 7 forms an integral number of loops around conductor 4 to ensure that the sensor measures a closed path integral of the magnetic field.
  • the signal is thus independent of the magnetic field distribution and unaffected by currents flowing outside the fiber coil.
  • the strip has markers or similar separated by the length of the sensing fiber. For example, the markers are at or near the sensing fiber ends.
  • the sensing strip is mounted on the annular support body 25 in such a way that the markers coincide (e.g., such that they are at the same circumferential position). Clamp 31 keeps the overlapping strip sections in place.
  • Foam strip 28 may be inserted between the sensing strip 29 and the main support body 25 to avoid stress as a result of differential thermal expansion. Foam strip 28 also serves to absorb mechanical shock and vibration.

  • Support body 25 may, as mentioned above, be mounted to the GCB 3 by means of shock-absorbing parts to further reduce exposure of the sensing strip 29 to shock and vibration.

  • retarder 17 in front of sensing fiber 7 is prepared such that it introduces an extra contribution to the temperature dependence which compensates the temperature dependence of the Verdet constant.
  • a further contribution to the temperature dependence of the sensor arises from the fact that the thermal expansion of sensing strip 29 (typically about 10 ⁇ 5 ° C. ⁇ 1 ) is larger than the thermal expansion of sensing fiber 7 (0.5 ⁇ 10 ⁇ 6 ° C. ⁇ 1 ).
  • the fiber coil is perfectly closed (i.e.
  • the ends of the sensing fiber are at the same radial position) only at a certain temperature, such as at room temperature.
  • a certain temperature such as at room temperature.
  • the fiber in capillary 33 does not follow the thermal expansion of the sensing strip 29 , the fiber ends overlap somewhat below room temperature whereas a small tangential gap develops between the ends above room temperature.
  • An overlap slightly increases the sensitivity of the sensor, whereas a gap slightly reduces the sensitivity.
  • the effect thus is opposite to the temperature dependence of the Verdet constant.
  • the combined temperature dependence is then 6 ⁇ 10 ⁇ 5 ° C. ⁇ 1 , if the thermal expansion of the sensing strip 29 is 10 ⁇ 5 ° C. ⁇ 1 .
  • Retarder 17 is, for example, prepared such that it compensates the combined temperature dependence (e.g., retarder 17 is set such that its influence corresponds to ⁇ 6 ⁇ 10 ⁇ 5 ° C. ⁇ 1 ).
  • the sensing strip can also be formed by an appropriate hollow-tube fiber cable 40 as shown in FIG. 12 , which shows a radial section of such a sensor head in the region of clamp 31 .
  • Fiber cable 40 is again equipped with markers and/or clamps which allow to reproducibly close the fiber coil.
  • the coil may again include (e.g., consist of) one or several loops. If a reproducible retarder/fiber azimuth angle is desired, capillary 33 at or near the location of retarder 17 is mounted in an appropriate adapter tube 45 . A seal 41 at the capillary ends ensures that the fiber 7 follows any adapter tube and capillary rotation. Clamp 31 closing the loop also defines the proper fiber azimuth.
  • FIG. 12 shows, in its upper half, the start section of the coil of cable 40 and, in its lower half, the end section of cable 40 after one loop. As can be seen, both are commonly held in clamp 31 .
  • the fiber may be a spun highly birefringent fiber as known from Ref. 7 .
  • This type of fiber is more stress tolerant then a low birefringent fiber and therefore may be embedded into the fiber-reinforced epoxy strip or protected in a fiber cable without a capillary. Alternatively, it may be embedded in a capillary in the same way as the low birefringent fiber described above.
  • flint glass fiber (Ref. 11 ). Flint glass fiber has very small stress optic coefficients and therefore is also rather stress tolerant. Like the spun highly birefringent fiber it may be embedded into the fiber-reinforced epoxy strip or protected in a fiber cable without a capillary.
  • the fiber may be thermally annealed as described in Ref. 3 .
  • the fiber coil can be packed in a rigid ring-shaped housing.
